Sauk Village man dies in homicide

Authorities are investigating the shooting death today of a 44-year-old Sauk Village man.

Brian Brabch was found with a gunshot wound to the chest at his home on the 2900 block of 223rd Street in Sauk Village, according to the Lake County, Ind., coroner's office.

Brabch was taken to St. Margaret Mercy Hospital in Dyer, Ind., where he was pronounced dead at 4:44 p.m.

Because he died at an Indiana hospital, investigators from the Lake County coroner’s office in Crown Point began an investigation, and determined the death to be a homicide from a shooting in his home.

As of Friday night, Sauk Village police were not releasing any information.
